I tend to wait for sales if I really want it for parts... K-Mart running two $4.99 figure sales back-to-back was a help too. I got Dooku and Ventress on pricematch for that, just for their sabers and the holo-figures which I felt were "good enough" for realistic figures.

Bane... I may pay full price for actually. That's my dilemma really. I think I haven't bought anything full price that's animated so far, except IG-86 which I really feel is good enough for the realistic line. I'd like more Clones for the rocket launcher, but even at $5 that's not worth the cost by a longshot.

I just sort of stand back and admire the animated guys for their sculpts... If I see something I can use, great, but generally I find the figures not so great for customizing. Bane may be an exception though, as the alien physique lends itself a little better to less animated and more realistic looking. His over-the-top slight build hampers that though. I'm thinking a ST figure as a base with various parts from Bane though, could make a good realistic one.

Smaller than Legacy, no pack ins, crap for articulation, and the same price as the Legacy assortment?!

I smell greed.

Totally!

Supposedly the reason is that they include spring-loaded weapons. That's the justification for the CW figures having the same price-point as the Legacy and Legends figures. I think Legends being the same price as Legacy is a rip-off too.

Speaking from my many horrible years of working at Target. Unless Hasbro had the packaging for each line totally different, you can't have different price points on each line because as we all know the stuff mixes together, people would question prices, and it would be a giant pain. Too bad for Target maybe, but that's why they'd never do it in my opinion.

I totally understand Nick - I worked retail too. I could only imagine the questions and complaints when a figure on a $6.99 peg rings up as $7.99.

I think that if CW and Saga Legends are both selling "so well" then Hasbro should be able to use the fact that the Saga Legends gives them enough profit to keep the overall cost of the figures down.

The figures should still be $6.99 each, not increased to $7.99 each.
